Dickens proclaimed Barnet to be full of pubs. Oliver Twist visits one with the Artful Dodger, not long after the pair meet in the eponymous novel. Today, the area has fewer drinking options, but those that remain are nearly all excellent. Please feel free to nominate further places in the comments below — or add anecdotes about those we've chosen.

One you should have listed for Enfield/Winchmore Hill is the Dog & Duck on Hoppers Road. Proper old man's pub (in a good way) that just does good beer, served well with no food. The regulars and staff are nice and friendly, and the only reason I don't go there more often now is that we had to move away. :( Worth checking out if your in the area.
